Selection Criteria
We’re looking for smart, curious Māori applicants with technical education in science and related business degrees, ideally with some relevant work experience.
We particularly welcome applicants who have Masters/PhD and minimum 3 years work experience in the following domains: Science (agriculture relevant), environmental science, sustainability/life cycle analysis, engineering, maths, data science, software (cloud computing, APPS), financial analysis, econometrics, food quality and safety, population management or business management or be tech-orientated business graduates ideally with 3+ years of work experience. We also welcome applicants who may be able to take a sabbatical from their current work in the sector. Age range typically <35 years old.
Key for us is that you have the resilience and courage to extract as much value out of this extraordinary opportunity as you can.
You must be able to commit your full time and attention during your placement in the US and fulfil your obligations to return to New Zealand and present back within two months of your return.
Selection Process
The success of Te Ara Pōtiki will be determined by the quality and performance of our people.
Our selection process has two parts:
Making an application and being accepted into the programme.
Matching candidates to the US companies.
Being accepted into the programme means you are on the list to be placed offshore with final placement subject to the needs and right timing of the US company.
We all want this to be the best experience possible so we will take time to ensure all of this works, in everyone’s interest.
